Are you allowed to mix animal rennin and milk for experimental purposes?
Is it under the prohibition of cooking meat and milk?
What is the halacha?
Call OU.
Is their heat involved?
Rennet can be seen as a davar hadash, according to many opinions.
*there
Rd, is it the same machlokes as regarding gelatin?
Yes, same as gelatin.
And since this is for research purposes, there would be more grounds to be matir.
For thousands of years, Kosher cheese was made with rennet from Kosher animals. The rennet itself is Parve.
I thought cheese was made without heat.
Rd, why would an issur d’Oraisa, if bishul was involved, become muttar for research?
It all depends on how you view the rennet.
In a case of research, there may very well be more grounds to hold that the rennet is a davar hadash, and therefore, like gelatin.
rebdoniel,
Why would the status of the rennet change if its purpose is for research? Is the rennet used for research different than the rennet used in food production?
Can’t you use FPC instead?
It won’t be a dioraysa anyway unless you have kosher near and kosher milk.
DY for most cheese, the milk is held at 90F, even through the renin pitch.
What kind of experimental purposes? (curious)
Twisted, I assumed so, so there would be no issur even there’s kosher meat and milk, since the only issur of mixing is through bishul (unlike eating, where there’s an issur d’rabbanan to eat a mixture).
The research distinction (rd) is what makes no sense to me.
